Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.588

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Grand Canyon painting. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas.

When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.

I've darkened the blue of the foreground elements. They are now clearly set apart from the distant elements to the rear. The banding of the foreground buttes is now mostly complete. I've attempted to mirror the patterns of the photo without getting bogged down in too much detail.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
